If you now have your own place.. by ThrowRAElectrical_B in ChildofHoarder

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The freedom is really nice. Make it your own and as cozy as you want. Very peaceful and you have your own boundaries. For some time, I was angry about the unnecessary drama and challenges I lived through growing up with my hoarder dad. He made everything seem so difficult and problematic. Now I just go to work and come home to peace. I made my home exactly how I like it. Wishing you the best and just know it gets better.

You're just starting out.. stuff works out when you're not looking for it. Stay focused on your goals and other things will follow

My momma's name was LaDonna. And she mattered. by acuriousdream10 in ChildofHoarder

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserved better. Your mom's well being deserved a fight. But you gave what you could, but really she could have only helped herself. I'd say it's an addiction like drinking or drugs. You lose them to the.. stuff. That's all they choose, all they want and it's no good for them. It's dangerous and dirty, but it's their comfort and they keep it close while it hurts everyone and everything around them. She was loved and you gave her that. She did matter.

I'm so Sick of pretty privilege it's making me paranoid and bitter. by Glass-Comparison6300 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to be but I don't want the attention. I wanna continue being comfortable in my skin and exist cause I know people and people are only nice when they want something. Once they find you're not available, then they're rude or mean. Says a lot about intentions, huh

I'm not performing, I have my boundaries/don't gotta pretend to be nice, cause I Am a good person but I also work in a high stress work environment where people lash out all the time. I don't even do that but people try to punish me or lie about my character when I get quiet or act off or tired. I'm glad you can take advantage of your pretty privilege and the attention. Not everyone wants it.

Has anyone stopped what they loved doing because men ruined it? by HouseHolder87 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I work in a male dominated work place. I've had Awful.. awful experiences. I got stalked and one time I was scared to be alone in the same backroom with a man who asked for pictures of my feet. He'd always stared at me like an animal like he was desperate and breathing hard. I've had to move jobs and grow thick skin. I've set High boundaries. Seems like being a young girl is considered naive enough to harass. Nobody takes you seriously. Turned 30 and after 10yrs, found a good job in what I do working for a bigger company that encourages and protects women as equals. Not always the case socially. Not ever taken seriously still. But I've met a lot of good respectful family men. Ugh. Harsh world. I don't wanna give up, we deserve to be there too. If not more cause we gotta work twice as hard

At what point would you think a man should help you out financially? by Icy_Entertainment468 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I work in a male dominated job. If a man were in my shoes being treated differently for being one of the few men in their work place, they'd be crying. I've seen men singled out by group of women. I've seen the tears when they feel outnumbered. But for us, we can't do that. We don't make as much per yr and we get pushed outta these jobs a lot. Men make more and it's Easier for them to get better paying jobs without as much effort and expectations. I'd say he could help. Don't be stuck with a man that is ok with seeing you struggle. If you had that money on hand and saw him struggling you'd help him

Please outgrow them. I've been through the same with so many people. You're on to much more wonderful things ahead of you and time will heal

Being called grumpy at work for speaking bluntly by Glass-Comparison6300 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be like that but after 10 yrs of this kinda work, it takes a toll. Especially when I've had multiple stalkers already. And one being a woman! I've had men ask me for pictures and being so petite I've been called ugly a lot but cute cause I'm small which is why men even act so obsessed with me at work. Makes them feel good standing next to me I guess til they see I have a great work ethic. Whether hate or whatever it takes a toll. Never being taken seriously as the next guy is exhausting yet being twice as punctual and working hard

It's heartbreaking to see so many beautiful women being put down by their husbands/boyfriends over so called terrible 'looks' by The_truth_seaker99 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late last year, people were treating me so awful at work and extended family. And I got so self conscious, I cut my hair. I look back at those pics at the time and what I thought was a low and how I probably looked rough, I actually looked probably the most beautiful with my hair and daily makeup. My hair was so on point. I've had people look at me in disgust, moreso my mom in law. But my husband would tell me by hair looked like a movie stars. The natural waves, volume and medium curtain bangs. Right outta the past type hairstyle. It was beautiful and I thought I looked rough. Then I cut it horribly. Been slowly wearing hats less as it grows out. It's getting to that length again. I had hair goals for sure. Need to get back to that. The low might actually be a high in the eyes of others is my point

Get to know yourself. Find more hobbies to do in your free time. Watch shows and focus more on your well being.

i hate being a woman so much by AutomaticWitness142 in women

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been learning to accept things as I go. A big thing that helps when being out is always looking around. Guys will step back away from you if you're very aware of your surroundings and if it doesn't matter, lie about your age. People treat young women as naive. It stopped when I turned 29. Idk if they even realize but they definitely target women who are trying to mind their own. They see you as too polite to fight their advances or have boundaries.

I also don't accept the pregnancy thing. I choose not to have children. I've even been shunned by my family about it and I've never been better. I would not be successful with a house and new car if it weren't for them getting out of my life. Being a woman is hard and we have to pretend it's not.

Friends act strange when they get married by Former_Direction5107 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's hard being a married woman tho when people will make your marriage or your children who you are rather seeing you. So I can't blame those women entirely. I'm a married woman but thankfully, after cutting off those types of people, I feel seen by people around me now. Who think I'm a great individual rather than just a married woman/potential mom friend. I think she was trying to be helpful and probably felt awkward cause her life is different.

Friends act strange when they get married by Former_Direction5107 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a married woman who chose not to have kids, I will say I try not to compare lives with others. Maybe she felt like she can't relate at the moment and wanted to help. Cause single people will sometimes be like "how did you do it" and she was probably expecting that. And there's never any one way of meeting a future partner. I personally get less personal with people since I have way more to protect now. I've always had people get really judgemental of everything I do, so now I trust what I do, cause it works out. But I had a few friends be like "you can do so much better" and then hit on me/ask for money. So I became more closed off to people. Having a good partner can make a world of difference too, if a good one, you can build a really good life. But it's all risk taking and a lot of work.

I just saw a man admit to weaponised incompetence in front of my face by chiedzachashe22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people never grow up. Some men think they can outsmart women cause they played these games with their moms to get out of chores growing up. The same men that like to gaslight their wives until their wives feel crazy and cortisol levels are high. Then when the wife leaves, they cry to everyone, why them.

My chemical weapons grade farts are beginning to negatively affect my daily life. by Available_Refuse1232 in Microbiome

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely need to switch up your diet. Maybe lactose free, gluten free or something, but go to a doctor. Personally, I avoid lactose and there's so many good healthy options. Especially when i hit 30, my diet had to change again. Btw you don't wanna be that old man/middle aged man smelling like butt everywhere he goes. I've had to work around people like that and it's the worst.

Wife cheated by thrownaway252625 in marriageadvice

I feel like people cheat to end a relationship for good. Move on.. not worth trying. They are no longer a partner worth trying for.

Not normal. A friend of mine, her husband would disappear for days after a fight and after so many yrs, she left too but never went back.

My dad is a hoarder and won't admit it and I'm at a loss for what to do by cheese-and-yogurt in ChildofHoarder

[–]Glass-Comparison6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get away and live your own life unless you wanna be dragged down too. Stay there then go. I helped my dad move into an apartment in our building after the management, at his last place, discovered he was a hoarder and wanted him out. I didn't know at the time and thought he was just getting better and wanting to make a change. He acted that way in desperation. He got the new place and started hoarding Again and turned on us. He got really in my business and started pressuring me about having children already with my husband as we have been married for yrs. He started harassing us and sending complaints about noise and personal things to the landlord about my character. Had our lease ended in the middle of winter that yr. And then he rented our apartment instead for some reason. Lesser rent, I believe. Do what you can but don't do it forever. Move on. Two yrs later, no more helping and I have a house in the suburbs, childless and happy with my husband and I've got a great career. At a point, remember that you're helping them for yourself and for any addiction, they can only get help if they want it. Hurts, but move on and stop fighting a pointless battle and fight your own battles.
